Student Government Association (SGA)
- "The purpose of SGA is to promote the unification of the student body; act as a liaison between students, faculty, administration, and the community; provide orderly direction of student affairs; and promote the general welfare of the school"
- Student Government Association Constitution
SGA seeks to encourage school spirit and community service through a variety of projects and outlets (such as Homecoming and Spirit Week). To effectively handle its responsibilities, SGA can be subdivided into five component parts: four classes - Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class, each devoted to carrying out the same goals as SGA itself- and the Inter Club Council (ICC). Each of the four classes collaborate volunteering, service projects, fundraising, and leadership potential in a centralized goal - improving student life and class unity at Western - while effectively planning and organizing class trips and activities in preparation and fundraising for Senior Prom and graduation.
The fifth component of SGA, the Inter Club Council (ICC), has the dual mission of overseeing all Western High School clubs and acting as a communication forum &endash; allowing Western's clubs to interact, working together to network and plan joint activities.
- SGA provides students with basic influential and management skills and exposes them to the standard parliamentary procedure followed in actual governmental branches- creating character, individuality and the ability to lead in almost any situation.
- SGA and Class officers are also encouraged to participate in a leadership class offered at Western High School.
